At the end of the day, our people are the key to success at AY. While we’re thankful for our people on the daily, our annual Avison Young Awards program gives us the platform to highlight our top talent who are delivering the best value for our clients, harnessing our collective intelligence, and making AY better day by day. Here’s to our 2021 Avison Young European award winners – congratulations to you.

Steffen is a highly-valued professional and a considerable contributor to AY Germany’s path to profitability. Steffen provides all the numerical background and context necessary for German management to make fact-based decisions and corresponding actions. He does so by not only presenting standard reporting and analysis, but by proactively questioning routines and the status quo. Steffen is a great team player and has a highly positive attitude. He’s quick with advice and explanations on all finance and accounting matters whenever needed. His initiative and dedication are of great value to our entire German operation.
